All Eyes on Him in the Center of the Ring Just Like a Circus

So I had my camera all posed for Dane's grand entrance @ KinderCircus & totally missed him walking in due to mane coverage-ugh! He was right @ front of line behind teacher & ringmaster (his buddy Josh). Another disclaimer is I figured out how to adjust ISO for the lighting since usually appears so dark in gym; however, it's rather grainy & frequently fuzzy so still not ideal pics. Oh well! FWIW, he told teacher he was fine when I pleaded with her to do quick costume check & eventually moved it outta his way himself. Yet knowing drama we experience on pretty much daily basis prior to my kindergartener being dressed n' out of the house, most likely marred start of show as visible by his expression-GRRRRR



Lucky for us the lions performed first, but we loved all the acts as usual! This is our 4th circus @ Zeiger Elem since we'd gone before boys' turns to watch neighbors & friends. Post title credit to Ms Spears:) Couldn't help but have that song goin' through my head albeit kindergarten-appropriate performance...


They do such a good job with this tradition right down to set-up...It takes months of preparation with the music & actual performances; however, the absence of strong man & popcorn afterward was duly noted:/ This pic doesn't really do span justice with their rings & clowns sitting in baskets:) Dane's class is on the left side!Here is Dane's part o' circus train around room; I got to help him paint it when I volunteered previous week, which opportunity has sadly dwindled to like once per mo in his class & even less for Cole:/ Of course, I strongly encouraged him to feature his own animal:)He also colored this lion outside his classroom--Overall we roared our approval & appreciated supportive aunts in attendance as well!
